"Jerk" By: Christina, Clifton, VA
I love your voice,
your soft brown hair.
I love your eyes
and love your stare.
I love your laugh,
your cocky smirk,
your stupid jokes.
You precious jerk,
you know I do.
I want my hands
all through your hair
each treasured strand.
I’m wrapped around
your finger still.
Am I yet yours?
Your love does kill
the things I hold
so close to me
and yet you’re the
best jerk I see.

"Me through a Lens"
By marinashutup, Fair Oaks, CA
Me through a lens
The easiest way to see
A skewed vision
Is better than me
Smile for the camera
Capture me on tape
You see what you want
Distorted figures and shapes
Develop the negative
Erase all the flaws
Hang up on a wire
The me you never saw
